The simple minded
And the uninformed
Can be easily led astray
And those that cannot connect the dots
Hey look the other way
People believe what they want to believe
When it makes no sense at all
So be careful of those killing in Jesus' name*
He donít believe in killing at all*

And I wish you a long sight line +
And the strength to walk tall +

(Chorus)
Walk tall (keep on walking, keep on talking)
Yeah walk on (keep on walking, keep on talking)
Through this world
Walk tall

Somewhere out in the distance
Is the death of you and me
Even though we donít think of it much
Itís still out there for us to see
If you treat life like a ballroom fight
Youíll die stinking of gin
No drunkards allowed in heaven
No sinners will get in

(Chorus)
Walk tall (keep on walking, keep on talking)
Yeah, walk on (keep on walking, keep on talking)
Walk tall (keep on walking, keep on talking)
Through this world
Walk tall

So be careful in what you believe in
Thereís plenty to get you confused
And in this land called paradise
You must walk in many menís shoes
Bigotry and hatred are enemies to us all
Grace, mercy and forgiveness
Will help a man walk tall

(Chorus)
So walk tall (keep on walking, keep on talking)
Yeah, walk on (keep on walking, keep on talking)
Walk tall (keep on walking, keep on talking)
Through this world
Through this world

(Chorus)
Yeah, walk tall yeah (keep on walking, keep on talking)
Then walk on yeah (keep on walking, keep on talking)
Walk tall yeah (keep on walking, keep on talking)
Then walk on

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

Through this world
Through this world
Through this world
Through this world

Let me say thank you to those who love many
Let me say thank you to those who still play fair
Hallelujah, the meek shall inherit
Let me say thank you to all you people out there, out there

Let me say grace for those who donít feel they matter
May God look down on all the soldiers of this Earth
Trying to find peace in this world that house so many
Let me say grace for those who feel lost from birth, lost from birth

Letís give a smile for those who feel that they have nothing
Let me shake the hand of Johnny Doe out on the street
Letís give a wink for those girls who donít feel pretty
Letís find some water for those who need a drink, need a drink

And when I see so many broken and lonely
Soon to be entering Heavenís door
Let me count the ways
Let me count the blessings
That no man should feel lonely anymore

Let me say thank you to the people raising families
Let me say thank you to the men who grow the bread
And hereís to dreams of a bigger, brighter future
That we all got someone to keep the stones from our bed

Yeah

Let me say thank you to those who love many
Let me say thank you for those who still play fair
Well, Hallelujah, the meek shall inherit
Let me say thank you to all you people out there
All you people out there
So let me say thank you
